This is a reupload of an existing CC to get more traction for newly-added roles. Previous auditions have been notified of the cross to this new page.
I'm a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Stout majoring in animation. I've had the great opportunity to adapt one of my stories to an animated pitch, and I've already been scooped up by Purple Productions! Since the goal is to expand from here, I'm in need of even more voice work, as well as a hole slew of crew members, which you can find down there!
Sergio Vargas, a young human man born into wealth from Thracia, has his world torn apart after his father, a bigoted and controversial politician, is assassinated right before him. He’s whisked o to a safe house by the police, but unbeknownst to him, this safehouse is owned by the one race of people his father trained him to fear the most: giants. This giant in particular, Estus Terrabens, attempts in earnest to help and bond with the young man, but tensions are high for a while as Sergio fears for his safety and Estus grows anxious and concerned. Just as Estus believes he may be getting the kid to come out of his shell, they’re attacked once again by assassins coming for Sergio. The pair resolve that they have to keep moving in order to stay safe, so they set out on a trek across the giant homeland of Kraggnar. It’s di fficult to do, especially for Sergio while his fear still gets the best of him, but they continue to bond, explore, meet new people and possibly escape certain death multiple times more.
The main characters, Estus and Sergio, have already been cast, with their roles going to Xathien and Sehoon, respectively. However, I've been approached by Purple Productions for making this into a potential series on their Big Red TV channel, so I need assistance with both voice and technical talent to push that forward. I'll be needing a lot of assistance, since I've got college obligations and thus probably will be mainly overseeing production, so any help I can get is greatly appreciated. I may be needing multiples of some roles, so keep an eye on that too!
If you're interested in discussing things further or have any questions, I've created a Discord server for this audition cycle, so it's a bit easier to talk one-on-one with folks. Thanks!

Voice Actor
Ferin Grado is Estus' best friend, and a detective for the Thracia Royal Police Department. He's outgoing, confident, and can be a bit brash, but he's ultimately got a heart of gold.
He asks Estus to take in Sergio after the incident revolving around his father's death. He then moves further to uncover who was behind the assassination.
His voice is deep, but still young and inexperienced. He's smooth-talking and tends to let his mouth run, but rarely gets tongue-tied. There's a certain ease with how he speaks, stemming from a carefree attitude for everything, even his voice. His voice does quaver when stuff hits the fan, though. Feel free to experiment with including his tusks in your pronunciation, but since Estus' VA isn't involving his tusks, don't feel obligated to.
Don't sweat it, man. The only thing you gotta worry about is keepin' him out of danger. Should be easy enough for a big softy like you.
Oh, uh... It's an inside joke. Kinda a long story.
Good... Now listen to me: How quickly can you guys haul ass out of that town and head due north?
Voice Actor
Adelaide Bell is Ferin's senior and investigative partner in the case revolving around Sergio's father. She's blunt and has a rathe dry sense of humor, but she's got a motherly instinct that she sometimes imparts too much onto her rookie partner, at least in terms of scolding him for dumb decisions.
She's in her mid-thirties, and is physically small, so I think her voice would reflect both aspects. There's a little nasality to her voice, but it doesn't overtake it. Feel free to experiment with accents for her, since she's of mixed races in the world of Merlen, being half-elf and half-dwarf.
I don't know, Ferin... It sure seems like you're sticking this kid in the middle of nowhere.
Suck it up, buttercup. This won't be the last time we're in the autopsy room for this case.
Voice Actor
Reimi is a single mother living on the northern border of Imikragg. She's endured a lot, and doesn't allow a lot to get to her, unless it threatens her daughter, Suli. Her opinion on men has waned since the one she called the love of her life callously betrayed her, and this shows when she learns about Estus and Sergio's predicament and the danger that they've posed for her and her daughter by involving them in their lives. She lives on the outskirts of a major Kraggnian city in a small cottage with her daughter Suli and their pet Vold Chloe.
Reimi has a husky, mature voice, and she's around 26 years old. Feel free to play around with accents and vocal quirks when developing her. In my mind I hear Scarlet Johannson, but feel free to channel whoever you wish.
If it were up to me and the weather was agreeable, I’d kick you out right now. But I wouldn’t even let my vold out in this blizzard, if it’s as bad as they’re saying. It’s part of why I offered you in.
You’re not very good at accepting forgiveness, are you?
I hope this is just a shitty little coincidence, Because if he’s here, then you’ve just put me and my daughter on the front lines, you know that?!
Voice Actor
Suli is a rambunctious young 7-year-old girl, who also happens to be half-giant, half-orc. Her heritage demands a strenuous diet of both rocks and meat, which her mother, Reimi, brgrudgingly maintains for her little girl. She can be a bit overwhelming, but she's a sweet little kid who loves her big ol' Vold pup, Chloe. She does have sharp little teeth from both of her parents, and knows how to use them.
I'm not entirely sure how to coach you on this, other than stating once more that she's 7 years old and rather precocious.
But I wanted meat tonight, not rocks...
Can I go play with Chloe?
*Some sort of little giggling*
